He can organize and defend! Isn t the contract of the Heat s backcourt general too cost-effective?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Miami Heat defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at home 127-117. After this game, the record of the 76ers, who have won 4 consecutive games, has improved to 11 wins and 6 losses, and their ranking has climbed to third place in the Eastern Conference; while the 76ers, who have lost two of the last three games, their record has dropped to 9 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking has also dropped to ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Heat's starting point guard Davion Mitchell deserves recognition. Mitchell played 30 minutes and 44 seconds, making 2 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 steal, a quasi-triple-double. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of +11. Mitchell didn't take many shots on the offensive end and didn't show off his scoring ability, but his performance in organizing and linking offenses was very outstanding. He didn't mess around on the court, and he was able to constantly give opportunities to his opponents. His performance in this aspect can be considered very amazing. Not only that, Mitchell's performance on the defensive end is also quite outstanding, and he also plays the role that a backcourt gatekeeper should play. Overall, Mitchell's performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive. His series of good performances are also a key factor in the team's ability to maintain its winning streak and improve its ranking.

Mitchell joined the Heat from the Toronto Raptors on the trade deadline last season. After joining the team, Mitchell played a total of 27 times for the Heat in the NBA regular season, averaging 32 minutes per game. In 2 minutes, the average data per game was 10.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks, 1.7 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. The shooting percentage was 49.5%, the three-point shooting percentage was 45.3%, and the free throw percentage was 70%. In the playoffs, Mitchell played a total of 4 times, averaging 35.5 minutes per game. He averaged 15 points, 2.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 2 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 61% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 42.9% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Mitchell has averaged 30 minutes per game in the first 17 games, averaging 10.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.1 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. He shot 51.1% from the field, 38.8% from three-point range, and 60% from free throws.

This summer, Mitchell received a two-year contract extension from the Heat with a total amount of $24 million. Judging from the current situation, in the continued absence of Tyler Herro, the backcourt partnership of Mitchell and Norman Powell is quite effective. One of the two players can organize, connect and defend, and the other can complete the scoring task. This also makes the team operate very smoothly on the offensive end. Considering Mitchell's salary, this performance has far exceeded everyone's expectations. But we don't know how the situation will change after Hero returns. What would be the effect if Mitchell, Powell and Herro were on the court at the same time?
